/** Embedded reference documentation for functions.
  *
  * The advantages of embedded documentation are:
  * - it is easy to write and update with code;
  * - it is easy to make sure that the documentation exists;
  * - the documentation can be introspected by the queries on running server;
  * - the documentation can be extracted by external tools such as SQL editors
  *   in machine-readable form and presented in human readable form;
  * - the documentation can be generated in various formats;
  * - it is easy to generate a documentation with information about the version when the feature appeared or changed;
  * - it is easy to point to the source code from the documentation;
  * - it is easy to point to the tests that covered every component, and order the tests by relevance;
  * - it is easy to point to the authors of every feature;
  * - the examples from the documentation can be automatically validated to be always correct and serve the role of tests;
  * - no cross-team communication impedance;
  *
  * The disadvantages of embedded documentation are:
  * - it is only suitable for uniform components of the system and not suitable for tutorials and overviews;
  * - it is more difficult to edit by random readers;
  *
  * The documentation can contain:
  * - description (the main text);
  * - examples (queries that can be referenced from the text by names);
  * - categories - one or a few text strings like {"Mathematical", "Array Processing"};
  *
  * The description should be represented in Markdown (or just plaintext).
  * Some extensions for Markdown are added:
  * - [example:name] will reference to an example with the corresponding name.
  *
  * Documentation does not support multiple languages.
  * The only available language is English.
